HARRINGTON A CO. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15, 1838. To merchants, Agriculturists AND GARDENERS. GR. GARRETSON, has removed his • wholesale and retail Agricultural and Garden Seed Wharehouse, to Flushing, L. 1., New York, where he intends dealing exten sively in the above business, and will be at all times enabled to furnish dealers and others with every article in his line of business. And as the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised under his personal attention or direction, or where it is necessary to import from Europe, they are procured from the most respectable Seed establishments there, and their qualities being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu racy and vitality are expressly warranted. The vending of Seeds is a business deserv ing much greater attention from the mercan tile community than is at present bestowed up on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter who would not purchase an assortment of su perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them easily. And as they yield a handsome profit, some explanations may be requisite in regard to making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit oflOO per cent, or more, at the New York re tail prices. For convenience they can be neat ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes (or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the expense of box) each suitable for a family gar den, which will be supplied at from $1 to $25 —the latter being sufficient to crop a garden of one acre. Or they can be put into 6 1-4 and 12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by the quantity will be charged so as to allow a profit of 80 per cent, on the New York retail prices. Any one wishing to engage in the vending of seeds, and not having experience, by addressing the proprietor will have the ne cessary information given, and they may feel confident they will be served with none but ar ticles of the very best quality. The Proprietor has further to state, that he is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul ture, Rural Economy, Ac. Ac. Also, Agri cultural Implements ofllusbandry and Garden Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very great variety; all of which can be packed so as to be transported to any part of the United States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at tention has been paid to obtaining both from foreign countries and at home, the finest agri cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in large quantities, and where the purchase is made for cash a discount will he allowed. A liberal credit will be given where a good under standing is established. There will be no dif ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con venience, and on this, and every other subject, the suggestions of correspondents will receive the fuilest consideration. MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS. 50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry or Mur us multicauiis, for sale. Os all the va rieties of Mulberries for silk, this appears most eminently entitled to preference, and since its introduction into France seems destined to re place every where the common White Mulber ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is its superiority over all others. The tree is beautiful and of a rapid growth, and will thrive well in almost any situation, and a few years are sufficient to raise considerable fields of them in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense number of silk worms. The raising of silk is as easy as the raising of wheat and much less laborious. For a number of years past it has been a regular and profitable employment of many ofthe farmers ofConnecticut, during the early part of the summer, and is emphatically a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a simple labor, in which females and children who do not essentially aid in supporting a fam ily may turn their services to profit. Every family of the most limited means can raise the mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle can procure a pamphlet which will give them the necessary information of reeling, Ac. The plants can be packed so as to be transported to any part ofthe Uniou and will be furnished in quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod erate rates. Nov. 16 PROSPECTUS OF THE Southern Literary Aspirant. ON the first of September next, will be is sued the first number of the Southern Lit eranj Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be conducted by the present Editor of the 44 News Carrier;” at which time that paper will merge into the former. Sucli a work is offered to the public from a firm conviction of its necessity and importance; and the editor has only to regret that abler hands have not undertaken to accomplish so desired an object as the advancement of Litera ture in the South, before him. To effect which will be his constant and unerring aim. The Editor has received the assurance of assistance from many, upon whom he relies, with a pleas ing confidence, that himself nor the public, through him, will be disappointed in their ex pectations of its character and success. W'e intend that our paper shall be a faithful vehicle of general News. The cause of the South, will be its cause, and the advancement of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa paper, it will espouse no party; the important affairs of Government, however, will not be suffered to pass unnoticed—and all sensible, judicious communications on this subject, pro! vided they are free from party spirit, will rej e-eive particular attention. Persons obtaining ten responsible subscribers to the Aspirant, will be entitled to one copy gratis. Terms.

Brunswick, Ga. June 8, 1837. Books al IHcwspaper Fo*tasc. LITERARY OMNIBUS Novel and Important Literary Enterprizc! Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels, Reviews, and the Ncics of the Day. It was one of the great objects of 44 Waldie’s Library,” 4< to make good reading cheaper, and to bring Literature to every man's door.” This object has been accomplished; we have given to books wings, and they have flown to the up permost parts of our vast continent, carrying society to the secluded, occupation to the lite rary, information to all. We now propose still further to reduce prices, and render the access to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give, in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume, in the same period for less than four rents a week, and to add. piquant seasoning to the dish, a few coin nos shorter literary matters, ajid a summu. ot the news and events ofthe day. We know, by experience and calcula tion, that we can go still further in the matter ! of reduction, and we feel, that there is still verge enough for us to aim at offering to an increasing literary appetite, that mental food which it craves. The Select Circulating Library, now ns ever so great a favorite, will continue to make its j weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for j binding and preservation, and its price and j form will remain the same. But we shall, in the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of America, but on very superior paper, also,fil ed with hooks, of the newest and most entertain ing, though, in their several departments of Novels, Tales, Voyages,Travels, Ac., select in their character, joined with reading, such as should fill a weekly newspaper. Bp - this meth od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en liven and enlighten the family circle, and to give to it, at at expense which shall be no con sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru dent, and to do it in a manner that the most sceptical shall acknowledge 44 the power of concentration can no farther go.” No hook, which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will be published in the Omnibus, which will be an entirely distinct periodical. Terms. Waldie's Literary Omnibus, will be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa per of a quality superior to any other weekly sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain, Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can be procured, equal every week, to a London duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels, Memoirs, Ac., and only chargeable with News paper postage. 2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices of books, and information from “the world of letters,” of every description. 3d. The news of the week, concentrated into a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to embrace a knowledge of the principal events, political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A merica The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs of five subscribers, where the paper is forward ed to one address. The clubs of two individ uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib ers, THREE DOLLARS, The discount on uncurrent money will be charged to the remit ter; the low price and superior paper, absolute ly prohibit paying a discount. JJ On no condition will a copy ever be sent, until the payment is received in advance. As the arrangements for the prosecution of this great literary undertaking, are all made, and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges to a generous public for many years, no fear of non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt. The Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a mount to two volumes of Rees' Cyclopedia, for the small sum mentioned above. Address (post paid,) ADAM WALDIE. 46 Carpsnter .tract, Philadelphia CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE LITERATURE. TO say that this is a reading age, implies a desire for instruction, and the means to gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a greed ; on the second, there is diversity both of opinion .and practice. We have newspa pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have severally their classes of readers and support ers. And yet copious as an* these means ol intellectual supply, more are still needed. In addition to tin* reviews of the day and passing notices of hooks, the people in large numbers, in all parts of our great republic crave the pos session of the books themselves, and details, beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress of discovery in art and science. But though it be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis tance from the emporium of literature, engross ing occupations which prevent personal appli cation of even messages to libraries and book sellers, are so many causes to keep people al way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment of the covered literary aliment It is the ob ject of the publishers of the Library to obviate these difficulties, and to enable every individ ual, at a small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his favored friends or family, valuable works, com pletion all the branches of useful and popular literature, and that in a form adapted to the comfort of the reader. The charm of variety, as far as it is coinpati hie with morality and good taste, will be held constantly in view in conducting the Library, to fill the pages of which the current literature of Great Britain, in all its various departments of biography, history, travels, novels and poe try, shall he freely put under contribution.— With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in tended to give entire the work which shall be selected for publication. When circumstances authorize the measure, recourse w ill be had to the literary stores of Continental Europe, and translations made from French, Italian or Ger man, as the case may he. Whilst the body of the work willbe a reprint, or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men and things, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full and regular supply ofthe literary, month ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive correspondence of the publishers are the best guarantee for the continuance of the enterprize in which they afe about to embark, as well as for the abun dance of the materials to give it value in the eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec tion and arrangement are concerned, readers will it is hoped, have reason to he fully satisfi ed, as the editor of the Library is not a stran ger to them, but has more than once obtained their favorable suffrages for his past literary efforts. TERMS. The work will he published in weekly mini hers, in stitched covers, each number contain ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double columns, making two volumes annually, ol more than 520 octavo pages, each volume ; and at the expiration of every six months, subscri bers will he furnished with a handsome title page and table of contents. The whole amount of matter furnished in a single year, will be e qual to more than forty volumes of the com mon sized English duodecimo hooks. The pa per upon which the Library will he printed, will he of the finest quality used for hook work, and of a size admirably adapted for binding.— As tin* type will he entirely new, and of a neat appearance, each volume when hound, will furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those who patronize the work. The price ofthe Library will be Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance. A commission of 2!) per cent, will be allowed to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur nishing five subscribers, and renfitting the a mount of subscription, shall he entitled to the commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the work for one year. Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a hove as often as convenient, and send a copy ot their paper containing the advertisement marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex change for one year.

The introduction of machinery in place of the tedious and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, a desideratum by the European founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy expenditure of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first successfully accoin plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast letter, has fully tested and established its su periority in every particular, over those cast by the old process.

It struck us in the after noon abruptly as we were speeding on luckily with all our sails close reefed, through a warm but gloomy rain, at nine knots. We were on the edge of the Gulf Stream, and took the full benefit of what the sailors called the butt-end of a north-wester. The rise of tliL whirl wind was instantaneous. It had been blow ing pretty stiff all day, when suddenly I saw the fore and main top-sail carrrifed away, and a wave burst into the round-house and rolled backward and forward, there leaving us all nearly kneo-deep in water. In an instant the wind was—not blowing—but bursting over the vessel m a rapid series of explosions, each one like water forced violently from the spout of an engine. The sea and air were foam to the topmast. The ship lying over low, her gun wale under water, her deck scattered with pieces of broken bulwarks and great fragments of sails, ropes, spars, and entire blocks flying off and up upon the gale. The sounds exceed ed all I had ever imagined ; a mingled and fierce crash ; thunder, whirl and tumult almost I beyond conception. Tlie masts bent like wil low wands. The noises resembled ’those of some tremendous conflagration, the roar of broad flames and the crash of beams, roofs, walls anil timber. There is, indeed, a simili tude between the extreme fury of fire anil water when those elements attain mastely. Above our heads sails, blocks and cables loos ened and rent, were hurled up and down again upon the roof of the round-house. It is not possible for one unacquainted with the sea to convince fully the phenomena of such a scene. The wind is there anew and appalling pow er, or rather a fiend omnipotent and infernal It breaks in volumes and audible billows over your head : producing sounds which seem like the conflict of unseen demons in the air. Each separate part of the rigging in motion, the huge fabrick strained to its utmost tension ; ropes, waves, spars, cables, chains, blocks, doors, beams instinct with the phrensy of na ture. We were deafened with the slamming, banging, crackling, crashing, snapping, split ting, flouting, roaring, thundering. It seemed impossible that such fearful noises could bo produced, except from the crushing to pieces of planks and timber. Each moment as I turned my eyes from the masts I thought I heard them go, and could scarcely credit my sight that they were not yet gone. The prominent fea tures of this hour is the noises. In addition to the full thunder of the sea and wind, a thou sand whips cracking, a thousand masts break ing, a thousand doors banging, a thousand planks splitting—all together—all with the most incessant, phrensied, intense, violence and rapidity. It was a madness, a delirium of the elements, a paroxysm, an ecstasy of rage and ruin. If the surrounding scene was appalling, its horrors were not decreased by that more near us. The round-house continued to be swept by the deep surges which rolled to and fro a cross the floor. We had in vain endeavored to persuade the ladies to go below. Every heart quailed before the gigantic madness of nature. Most of the females abandoned hope utterly. One was terrified to a calmness that made me shudder. Poor Sophia was some times on her knees in prayer and sometimes in actual convulsions. Cries of “Oh heavens ! what’s gone now ? There go the masts. Is there any Lope ?” were all that was said. Os us gentlemen, I can only say wo were all de cently still and most thoroughly frightened. It was terrible to behold the sailors aloft on the yard endeavoring to furl the fragments of a sail, the masts bent frightfully, and each mo ment I looked to see the men whirled off up on the air. After raging for two hours, the tornado subsided to such a gale as would have of itself alarmed us at any other time. I went into the cabin. Everything was overturned broken, drenched, desolate. Tired, sleepy, sick, hungry ; my head aches, my eyeballs bum ; lam beaten out and exhausted. Ah, people ashore, how faintly you feel your blessings ! A wife. —In the new piece of “Love and Reason,” old General Dorlon is persuading Adjutant Vincent to marry— “ She is an angel!” says the General: “ I don’t want an angel — l should not know what to do with an angel,” is the reply of tlie single-hearted adjutant “Site is all sweetness,” rejoins the General i “So ia a bee-hive,” answers Vincent, “but it does not follow that I should like to thrust my head into it.” During tlie recent election in England, a candidate for Parliament, solicited the vote of an elector, who replied, “Sir, I would sooner give my vote to tho devil.” “But,” retorted Mr. B. “in £he event of your/Hend not offer 4 * ing himself, uiav I expect the favor of your support.” [Eng.
